is thus rendered at once the most convenient and most desirable resort for Pleasure-seekers 
and Tourists at Niagara. The terms for Board are 

THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER DAY, 

(XXlSriTEID ST-A-TES I^XTHSTIUS,) 

being much less than prices on ATnerican side— a fact w-hich alone commends the Clifton 
to public attention. For families who desire to remain by the month or season, special 
arrangements will be made and liberal inducements offered. 

Connected with the Clifton are cottages, built expressly to accommodate families who 
prefer the quiet of a home to the excitement of active hotel life. There are also connected 
with this Hotel 

A SPACIOUS LAWN AND A PLAY-GBOUND 

for children well shaded with trees and lighted at uight with gas. On the premises are 

BOWLIN-GALLEYS, BILLIARD-ROOMS, &c. 

A SUPERIOR BAND OF MUSIC will be in attendance during the season to enliven 
the Lawn and Ball-room. 

4®=-Passengers for the Clifton who may arrive at the Falls by either the Erie or New 
York Central Railways, will always find at the Station our porters and stages to convey 
them to the hotel — a ten minutes ride.

Summer Excursions, 



'^OT more regularly does the warm summer season recur, than, to the American 
public, does the desire, begotten of it, to get away from home ; to throw 
everything aside, if only for a day or two, and go off somewhere. And 
what a blessed comfort it is to shake off the dust of the city, to leave 
behind and forget for the nonce its hot pavements and dusty walls, and hurry away 
to some of the cool, leafy nooks nestling somewhere far away among the moun- 
tains, or on the shore of some one of the many inland lakes which, like jewels, 
bestud our northern landscape. In the cold, bleak days of winter we cling in- 
stinctively to the family fireside and the indoor delights of our city homes ; and 
naturally enough, — for the winter hearth tells of all that is beautiful and sacred in 
domestic life ; but with the warm breezes wafted by the opening summer's days 
there comes an inward longing to be off, a desire for a change of scene, a yearn- 
ing for that abandon, that dolce far niente, which can only be found in nature's 
more secluded haunts. 

And, year by year, we Americans are indeed coming to be more and more a 
summer pleasure-seeking people. The increasing facilities for travel, the estab- 
lishment of numerous attractive resorts at every point where nature has offered a 
mingling of the accessible and the picturesque, and the enhanced appreciation of 
the value of an annual period of relaxation in the popular mind, all thrse have 
combined of late years to send everybody off on some sort of a summer trip, from 
the school-teacher or clerk, with their simple visit of a week to some quiet rural 
abode, to the luxurious millionaire taking his wife and six handsome daughters, 
with their dozen Saratoga trunks, for an all-summer's round of Mauch Chunk, 
Watkins' Glen, Niagara Falls, and the upper St. Lawrence. 

And so it is, that when the breath of June steals in through the casement, the 
clerk jumps down from his high stool, the teacher closes her books, ihe editor 
throws down his quill, the merchant forgets his ledger, the clergyman asks for his 
vacation, the lawyer grows weary of the court-room, and each, packing up his or 
her valise, draws a long breath, heaves a sigh, — the pent-up feelings of a long 
winter's toil, — and exclaims, in a tone that admits of no doubt or denial, " I must 
go on a summer excursion somewhere." 

(3) 



And so they must. But then there comes up, first of all, that all-important 
and, it must be confessed, very pertinent inquiry — 

WHERE SHALL I GO? 

And this is the question which, so far at least as Philadelphians are concerned, 
this little work proposes briefly to answer. For, to use the words, of Pennsylva- 
nia's lamented poet, from whom we have already quoted on the title-page, 

" No lovelier landscape meets the traveler's eye" 

than that which constitutes the domain of the Keystone State. Tourists travel far 
and at great expense to reach the mountain-darkened current of the historic 
Rhine, or to view from the peaks of the Sierra Nevadas the glorious scenery of 
the plains and the Pacific coast. Yet beauties which equal these, aye, it may be 
even surpass them, are here within our very borders, and within a few hours' ride 
of our homes. What mountain scenery can be grander than that in which the 
silvery Lehigh winds its way through overshadowing hills, now meeting with 
some apparently impenetrable barrier to its course, or now darting off obliquely 
to seek the passage-way cleft for it through these rocky battlements by some 
gigantic convulsion of the past? Here in the torrid days of summer, when city 
folks swelter and inwardly long for the wings of a bird that they may fly away 
and be at rest, how many cool, delicious spots there are, free alike from the tur- 
moil of the town and the discomforts of daily routine at home. Come, let us 
visit some of them. Other sections may boast their charm and attractiveness, and 
entreat you with the alluring voice of the siren to visit them ; but none, no, not one, 
can show such picturesque beauty, such wild, romantic splendor, such a wealth of 
nature in her freshest forms, as can the Switzerland of America, the region of 
Pennsylvania traversed by the Lehigh Valley Road. 

But come, take your valise and let us be off. We shall take the morning train 
on The North Pennsylvania Railroad, from Berks street depot, and by noon- 
time shall be far away up in the heart of the coal regions. Here, this is our train ; 
jump aboard, and let us select good seats, in one of the luxurious drawing-room 
coaches by all means. These wheeled palaces in which we now seat ourselves 
run through to Elmira, and in them — thanks to the enterprise of the Pennsylvania 
and New York Drawing-room Coach Company — we may accomplish our journey 
without any of the usual discomforts of travel. There, we hadn't much time to 
lose, for we are off, you see, already. Leaving the depot we traverse the northern 
section of the city about a mile east of the old York road, pass, in turn, Fort 
Washington and the picturesque^ scenes. of Wissahickon, and not until we have 



5 

ridden seven miles find ourselves without the corporate limits of Philadelphia. 
Next we reach the neat, pretty Welsh settlements, Penllyn and Gwynedd, the 
latter having a population of about two thousand. The tunnel through which we 
pass near this point is a very extensive and costly one, a single mile having cost 
over $300,000. 

At Lansdale, three or four miles further on, we pass the junction point of the 
branch railroad to Doylestown, the county seat of Bucks county, ten miles dis- 
tant; and at Sellersville, ten miles further still, reach Landis Ridge, dividing the 
waters of the Delaware and Schuylkill. A magnificent view of Limestone Valley 
and Quakertown may be had from the summit of the Ridge, about a mile west of 
the station. But beauties grander than this are in store for us further on, and we 
whiz past the stations at Coopersburg, Center Valley, and Bingen, glance for a 
moment as we pass at Hellertown, — built in 1756 on the site of the old Moravian 
farms, yet now boasting a population of upwards of six thousand, principally 
engaged in iron and zinc mining, — and in a few moments more catch glorious 
glimpses of the majestic hills skirting the valley of the Lehigh, and among 
which we are shortly to thread our devious way. Now we approach them nearer 
and nearer, and presently the towering walls of Lehigh University give us notice 
of our approach to South Bethlehem, Then the houses and spires and chimneys 
grow more numerous, the silvery Lehigh may be seen plashing at our feet, and 
almost ere we know it we find ourselves at a stand still at the depot at 

BETHLEHEM. 

Here it is that we reach the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and a quaint old spot it 
is, one in which the tourist can well and profitably pass a day or two, in rambling 
through its quiet streets, so suggestive of days gone by. Here it was that, in 
1741, Count Zinzendorf, with his little band of pious Moravians, founded a settle- 
ment, and established institutions of learning for both sexes, which in all subse- 
quent generations have attracted pupils hither from all parts of the country, and 
which to-day are inferior to none in the land. These seminaries, together with 
the Lehigh University, before mentioned, combine to give Bethlehtm a justly- 
earned reputation as an educational centre. The University, which was inaugu- 
rated in 1866, was founded by the liberality of Hon. Asa Packer, who gave not 
only the fifty-six acres upon which it stands, but the princely sum of half a million 
dollars besides. A visit to the institution, with its stately edifices and its beauti- 
ful forest park, will amply repay the tourist. So, too, will a stroll through the 
city, where will be found remaining most of the old Moravian buildings, all of 
stone, and quaint in their architecture. The principal ones, which stand at the 
foot of Broad street, were used as a hospital by General Washington, when his 



troops retreated across the Delaware, and it was here too that the Moravian nuns 
gave Count Pulaski the banner still preserved by the Baltimore Historical Society, 
the presentalioii of which gave Longfellow occasion for that beautiful, familiar 

poem, beginning 

" Take thy banner, may it wave 
Lightly o'er the good and brave." 

But it is not in antiquities alone that Bethlehem possesses an interest. In 
modern progress and improvements, too, does she put in her claims to attention. 
Her foundries, mills, and factories are varied and extensive. She has four 
banks, fifteen churches, two public halls, many handsome private residences, and 
a population of nearly ten thousand. Many pleasant drives and views are to be 
had in the environs, and a visit to Nisky Hill, overlooking the town, discloses 
one of the most tastefully laid out cemeteries in the country. 

So, altogether, Bethlehem is a point we could scarce afford to miss on our tour. 
But the whistle is blowing, and our train will soon be starting off on its trip up 
the valley. But, wait I No — that is the train just coming in from New York to 
connect with our own — for it is at this point that the streams of excursion travel 
from the two great cities of America — New York and Philadelphia — coalesce and 
become one. There is the New York train now ; its passengers left the metropo- 
lis this morning, and here they are ready to go on with us up the valley. 

FROM NEW YORK TO BETHLEHEM 

is, indeed, a delightful ride. Leaving New York by the Central Railroad of 
New Jersey from the foot of Liberty street, or by the Morris and Essex Railroad 
from the foot of Barclay street, the tourist traverses the most fertile farming regions 
of New Jersey, skirts the mountain range which overlooks the fair valley of the 
Musconetcong, and finally reaches the Delaware, at Phillipsburg, directly opposite 
the flourishing city of Easton. This is the terminus of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, 
— and, crossing the river on a bridge affording an unequaled view of the city and 
the confluent rivers which border it, the traveler soon finds himself, without 
change of coaches, whizzing along up the south bank of the Lehigh, past Glen- 
don, Redington, and Freemansburg, to the great junction point with the line of 
travel from Philadelphia at Bethlehem. 

And thus it is, then, that our fellow-passengers from New York find themselves 
here, ready to go on with us, and explore the beauties of the far-famed valley 
above. And now we are off, and Bethlehem is soon behind us. Take your seat, 
for the present, at all events, on the right hand, or river side, of the c^r, and you 
will see much to entertain you in the view of immense blast furnaces, long rows 
of canal boats in the canal opposite, sleepy farm-houses nestling here and there 




'■vrm 



among the hills on the opposite side, pretty-shaded island*? in the river, and every- 
where, if in summer, a luxuriance of foliage and flow^ers. At East Penn Junction 
our train connects for Reading, Harrisburg, and Pittsburg, but that is not the 
direction in which we are going to-day. " Young man, go north-west," is the 
motto for this occasion. Next we come to the populous city of 

ALLENTOWN, 

Named after an old friend of William Penn, and founded in 1762. It is situated 
at the junction of Little Lehigh and Jordan Creeks with the Lehigh River, and is 
regularly and tastefully laid out with broad, clean, and well-shaded streets, and a 
fine public square in its centre, while the presence of gas-lamps, hydrants, and 
horse-cars gives it an unmistakably metropolitan air. It has a population of about 
fifteen thousand. Here, too, we find — in the stone bridge, eighteen hundred feet 
long, spanning Jordan Creek by nineteen arches — the largest structure of the kind 
in the State. Among its industries Allentown boasts several rolling-mills and 
iron-works, woolen and planing mills, carriage, planing, and sash factories, and 
a host of similar minor establishments. It has also three national banks, a hand- 
some court-house and jail, three costly public school-houses, eighteen churches, 
nearly a dozen newspapers. Odd Fellows' and Masonic halls, a fine opera-house, 
and numerous other showy public edifices. The fair grounds, covering twelve 
acres, in the outskirts of the city, contain a fine exhibition building, known as 
Floral Hall, a race-track, and stalls for one hundred head of horses and cattle. 
Among the private educational establishments Muhlenburg College, founded in 
1848, and the Allentown Female College are prominent. The scenery and natu- 
ral curiosities of the city and vicinity are well worth seeing. There are several 
romantic springs near by, much resorted to by strangers, and from Bauer's Rock, 
close at hand, one may look down from an elevation of a thousand feet upon the 
rich and varied landscapes of the Saucon and Lehigh Valleys. 

CATASAUQUA, 

Three miles beyond Allentown, signifies ' parched land," and takes its name from 
a creek here flowing into the Lehigh. It was here that anthracite iron was first 
made in the Lehigh Valley, and now the town turns out twenty-fiVe thousand car- 
wheels annually. Founded in 1839 by Philadelphians, it was in 1853 incor- 
porated, and to-day has a population of six thousand; is supplied with gas and 
water, has twelve public schools, eleven churches, two papers, a bank, and a fine 
public or town hall. The railroad to Fogelsville, twenty miles distant, diverges 
at this point from our line. 



Just beyond Catasauqua stands a stone building nearly two centuries old, once 
occupied by George Taylor, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. 
More than once, too, its now crumbling walls have afforded the earlier settlers a 
place of refuge and defense against attack by the wily Indian. 

Another mile brings us to the thriving village of 

HOKENDAUQUA, 

Also named after a neighboring creek, and signifying searching for land. Though 
not twenty years settled, it has a population of twelve hundred, and an extensive 
iron-works, the amount of labor done in which may be estimated from the simple 
sta ement that it consumes one hundred thousand tons of coal annually. 

COPLAY, 

The town which we next pass, is the site of the Lehigh Valley Iron Works, and 
the mills of the Coplay Cement Company. At 

WHITEHALL, 

Deriving its name from that of the adjacent country residence of a Philadelphia 
gentlemen, stood the antiquated place of worship known as Egypt Church, origi- 
nally built in 1742, acrain in 1785, and finally, in 1851, replaced by a more 
modern structure. In 1763 this locality was the scene of many Indian tragedies. 
Passing in turn Laury, with its slate quarries, and Rockdale, with its precipitous 
cliffs, along whose giddy brink our train glides in seeming mockery of danger, 
we reach 

SLATINGTON, 

The centre, as its name indicates, of an extensive slate business. Many a dunce 
in schools in every part of the land has wept away over the figures of some in- 
comprehensible sum in arithmetic, scrawled in school-boy figures, over the pro- 
duciions of this vicinity. The capitol at Washington is roofed vi^ith slate from 
this point. Trout Creek runs directly through Slatington, which, indeed, is a 
place of some importance, boasting twenty-five hundred inhabitants, four or five 
churches, and a weekly paper. There are also some important slate quarries at 
Slatedale, three and one-half miles distant, and connected by a branch road 
with the main line. And now, as we resume our ride, there presently breaks upon 
us a scene of surpassing beauty, none other than the famous 



lO 

LEHIGH GAP, 

Throuah which the river forces its irresistible way through the rocky barriers of 
the Blue Ridge. To the traveler who has not seen this grand commuiglmg of 
nature's forces, no words can suffice to describe its sublimity or beauty. On the 




western side, near the summit of a lofty ridge, stands out abrupt and lone a. gray, 
towering crag, surmounted by a tuft of withered pines, and known as the " Devil's 
Pulpit." The scene is strangely wild and weird, and involuntarily recalls the 
days when these solitudes had not yet re-echoed to the invading footsteps of man : 

" Or here, perchance, 
In desperate hour, some Indian maid forlorn 
Hath to the midnight flung her streaming hair — 
Plunged, like the Pleiad, to be seen no more." 

A stop for a day or two at this charming and picturesque point will amply repay 
the lover of nature. The view given herewith conveys some idea of its beauty to 
the reader. But the knowing ones will tell you that there are even grander beau- 
ties beyond. Now we see busy Parry ville, then Weissport and 

LEHIGHTON, 

A town sixty years old, and containing fifteen hundred inhabitants and four church 
societies. Near it are a mineral spring, quite famous for its healing properties, 
and the grounds of the Carbon County Agricultural Society. 

This vicinity teems, too, in vivid historical reminiscences and traditions. The 
survivors of the Wyoming massacre called a portion of it the " Shades of Death," 
so lonely were its solitudes and fastnesses. Here, in 1746, settled Moravian 
missionaries, preaching to ihe Indians their gospel of peace, and, for a wfiile, suc- 
cessfully. But ten years later, during the hostilities which followed Braddock's 
defeat, the savages committed bloody excesses hereabout, and even as late as 1780 
carrie<l off a white family hence to Canada. In Weissport, it may be added, is the 
site of a log hut built and occupied by Benjamin Franklin while in charge of the 
then north-western frontier. At 

PACKERTON 

We cross the river and see the extensive shops of the Lehigh Valley Railroad 
Company, employing nearly six hundred men, and close at hand, too, is a park 
of seventy-five acres stocked with elk, deer, and antelopes. Brook-trout breeding 
is also extensively and successfully carried on near by. 

But, OS we are looking and wondering, a sudden turn in the valley brings us in 
full view of 

MAUCH CHUNK. 

Alighting f t the first time in this picturesque spot, where the enterprise of man 
has engirded with railroads and canals the wildest mountain solitude, one knows 
not whether first to bow in awe at nature's majes y, or exclaim with delight at the 



12 

triumph which engineering skill has achieved in rendering it so easily accessible 
to the outer world ; for this narrow gorge, through which the Lehigh through 
ages of solitude plashed its way to the sea, now furnishes an avenue also for two 
railroads, a canal, and at this point a village street, all crowded into this narrow 
space, and monopolizing every inch of room they can ever expect to occupy. 




MAUCH CHUNK. 



13 

The place derives its name, Mauch Chunk, signifying Bear Mountain, from this 
cone-like elevation on our right, under the shadow of which stands the tasteful 
depot at which we alight. From this point wc cross first the canal and then the 
river by a bridge of two spans and find ourselves before the Mansion House, (see 
advertisement published elsewhere,) on the principal street of the town. 

First, let us take a seat here on the cosy veranda of the hotel, and take our 
bearings. That gigantic mountain south of us, turning abruptly to the eastward, 
with the carriage road ascending along its rugged slope, is known as the Flagstaff; 
and from Prospect Rock, which may be reached by a rustic fool-path from the 
hotel grounds, there is to be had a glorious view of the river and the valley, both 
far below. Looking in the opposite direciion the eye follows the narrow highway, 
first with its single row of buildings facing the river, and then built up on both sides 
to the foot of Mount Pisgih, an almost perpendicular elevation rising to the height 
of fifteen hundred feet above the tide-water, and about the base of which chister, in 
what seems at first a hopeless confusion, the dwellings, stores, and churches of 
this aciive little town. It is over Mount Pisgah that by-and-by we shall enjoy a 
ride on the famous gravity railroad known as the " Switchback." For the present, 
however, a few words about the histoiy of the locality itself. Though first settled 
<mly in the year 1815, it was in this immediate vicinity that about a quarter of a 
century earlier (1791) anthracite coal was accidentally discovered by one Philip 
Ginter, a hunter. Upon the strength of this, the Lehigh Coal Mine Company was 
formed in the following year, but it was not until the war of 1812 had begun that 
the company prosecuted mining with any activity, and finally, in 181 5, the organi- 
zation disbanded. Three years later, however, the Lehigh Navigation and the 
Lehigh Coal Companies were formed, and out of their subsequent consolidation 
grew the present Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, whose shipments some- 
times of late years have amounted to eighteen thousand tons weekly. Gradually, 
with the development of its mining interests, Mauch Chunk has grown to a place 
of six thousand five hundred inhabitants, and is moreover, from its natural beauty of 
scenery and surroundings, annually becoming more popular as a summer resort. 
It has three weekly newspapers, two banks, nine churches, a public library, good 
schools, and a number of elegant residences, among which those of the Hon. Asa 
Packer and of Mr. Leisenring are especially noticeable. 

"THE SWITCHBACK." 

The first problem presented for solution by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation 
Company when organized, was the transportation of coal from the mines to the 
river. Science and enterprise joined hands to solve it. First, a tedious system 



H 

of mule tennis was adopted, but in 1827 this was replaced by the gravity railroad, 
running on a descending grade from Summit Hill to the river. Cars coming 
down on this road by their own gravity carried with them the mules which were 
to drag them back. In 1844. the mule system was abandoned entirely, by the 
erection of inclined planes and stationary engines. Since that time, a ride over 
these planes has annuilly become more popular, until now it is an inseparable 
feature of a visit to Mauch Chunk. 

But let us step into this car which is waiting here at the base of the plane, and 
we shall shortly see how it is for ourselves. The view, even here at the starting- 
point at Upper Mauch Chunk, overlooking the town, the river, and East Mauch 
Chunk, is fine enough to satisfy any reasonaljle sight-seer. But here we go ! 
up — up — up. Now we begin to look down on the tree-tops, and the landsc ipe bekw 
seems to be slowly but steadily receding. We speedily traverse the two thousand 
three hundred and twenty two feet of track, and, reaching the summit, are in 
reality eight hundred and sixty-four feet higher than our starting-point. Passing 
over a trestle-work, spanning a wild ravine, we alight and follow a winding foot- 
path to a still higher p .int— the Pavilion, where, from an observator)% we may 
look doMm upon a view than which certainly none more grand could be wished 
for by mortal eye. Away to the south, through Lehigh Gap, we catch glimpses of 
the hazy blue outline of Schooley's Mountain, sixty-five miles distant. North of 
it, too, is Wind Gap, and following the horizon around we see a mingled pano- 
rama of blue hills and green forests, bewildering in its extent and grandeur. To 
this fascinating spot have been justly applied the favorite lines from Scott: 

" So wond'rous wild, the whole might seem 
The scenery of a fairy-dream." 

And now from this point we whiz along, with gravity for our motive power, for 
a distance of six miles, (a descent of three hundred and two feet,) to the ba>,e of 
another inclined plane (Mount Jefferson) two thousand and seventy feet long and 
four hundred and sixty-two feet in elevation. Again we see the earth seeming to 
recede from us, and again, after reaching the summit, drawn by invisible chargers, 
we hurry along, over a mile's descent of forty-five feet, to the quant mining village 
of Summit Hill, with a population of two thousand, and an elevation of nine 
hundred and seventy-five feet above the Lehigh. A curious place it is, with ram- 
bling streets, old buildings, and a stone arsenal with turrets and loop-holes, and 
in which are stored arms for a company of militiamen, to be called out should 
disorders arise among the miners. Close at hand is another, or the original 
switchback railroad, leading, by a long descent, to the Panther Creek Valley 
beyond; and here, too, is the "burning mine," within the subterranean depths of 



15 

which a fiery heat has been raging for thirty-two years past, searing and blighting 
whole acres on the surface above it. 

But the supreme pleasure of our ride is yet in store for us. It is the return 
over the nine miles of continuous descending grade to our starting point at Mount 
Pisgah's base. A single turn of the brakes and otif we start, faster and faster, 
down through long stretches of shaded roadway, around wondrous curves, along 
giddy cliffs, under the shadows of great ivy-grown crags, and still down — down — 
down, at a dizzy speed, and as if borne on the wings of the wind. There, like 
a toy village in the distance before, and far Lelow us, we once more descry 
Mauch Chunk, with its familiar church spire so indelibly impressed upon all who 
have visited the town. How fast we seem to be approaching it. And so, indeed, 
we are; for almost ere we know it our fleet charger has drawn rein, and we are 
safe and sound, but breathless with delight and excitement, at the platform from 
which we so recently started on our ascent. 

It may safely be said that, in all the varied features of American tourist travel, 
there can be found nothing so novel or exhilarating as a ride over the Switch- 
back; and a visit to Mauch Chunk without it is to a summer tour, vidiat, to the 
Shakspearean drama, is Hamlet with Hamlet omitted. 

But a stay at Mauch Chunk affords still another delight — a visit to 

GLEN ONOKO. 

A ride of two miles further up the river, by any of the trains, will bring us to 
it, and a wild-tangled spot we shall find it, — a mountain ravine through which a 
crystal stream comes plashing down in successive waterfalls from a height of 
over nine hundred feet. The pathway to the summit leads us along the course 
of the streamlet — now on this side, now on that, spanning it here and there with 
a rustic bridge, which it were not difficult to imagine that elfin hands had placed 
there, and in crossing which we look both forward and backward upon genuine 
glimpses of fairy-land. The ascent is steep, but wdl repay us for the toil. There 
is no royal road to the summit here. We must go afoot, if we go at all, so let us 
start forward. A few steps from the depot bring us to the foot of a long stairway, 
and, passing Entrance and Crystal Cascades, we see above us a rustic bridge, upon 
which our pathway soon brings us. Here we are face to face with Moss Cas- 
cade, below us is a limpid pool known as the Lover's Bath, while frowning above, 
as grim sentinels, are two moss-clad boulders, called the Pulpit Rocks, each about 
twenty feet high. Next we pass by the Laurel Cascade, to what is aptly termed 
the Heart of the Glen, where, amid a dense luxuriance of foliage, the eye rests 
upon a series of minor falls, called the Stairway Cascades, leaping in playful rivalry 



one upon the other. From this point a stairway ingeniously hewn out from the 
trunk of a monster hemlock leads us to Sunrise Point, from which may be ob- 
tained a glorious and commanding view of the landscape of the winding valley 
now far, far below. But we cannot pause long here, for before us is one of the 
greatest charms of the glen. Chameleon Falls, fifty feet high, over which the 
stream plunges into a half-square basin, densely overshadowed wiih foliage. 




CHAMELEON FALLS. 

And not lar above it, too, we come to Onoko Falls, the highest, and in the 
opinion of many, the handsomest in the glen. If we have the courage to venture 
behind this misty veil of ninety feet in height, we shall obtain a glimpse of 
sprite land which will well repay us for the chance of a slight ducking from 
the spray. 



i; 




ONOKO FALLS. 



Resuming our upward journey, and having previously squeezed through be- 
tween two birch trees by a passage-way justly named the Fat Man's Misery, we 
pass, in turn, Terrace Cascade and Cave Falls, the latter deriving its name from a 
neighboring rocky recess in which the Indians are said to have frequently con- 
cealed themselves. Indeed, through this glen ran an old war-lrail from the 
Susquehanna to the Delaware, and it was by this route that General Sullivan and 
his soldiers passed in 1778, after the Wyoming massacre. Next, our path leads 
us by a deserted old cabin, a convenient halting-place for sportsmen, to Packer's 
Point, where, amid an extended view of the surrounding country, we have 
reached the summit of Glen Onoko's beauties. 



i8 




TERRACE FALLS. 
And now, once more resuming our journey, wc find our way, as before, following 
the devious windings of the Lehigh amid scenery so wild and lonely as to recall 
the descriptions we have read in childhood of the mysterious Black Forest and 
Hartz Mountains of Germany, The hills, some of them seven hundred feet 
high, descend abruptly to the very edge of the hemlock-dyed waters rushing 
rapidly by them in a thousand plashes and eddies, and along wondrously cut 
ledges near their base we whirl onward, in perfect security, in our palatial coaches. 
Our first stopping-place in these wilds is 

PENN HAVEN JUNCTION, 

from which diverge three important branches, known as the Beaver Meadow, 
Hazleton, and Mahanoy Divisions, each of them connecting with important coal 



centres, distant respectively sixty-six, seventy, and eighty-one miles. Penn Haven 
itself was founded in iS'^S, and now does an immense coal business. 




VILW ON blOxW LRtKK. 

STONY CREEK 

derives its name from a romantic trout-stream in its immediate vicinity, a favorite 
resort of sportsmen and picnic parties. 



20 

ROCKPORT 

Is a village situated in a picturesque gorge in Buck Mountain, on the opposite 
side of the river from the station bearing its name. At this point may be obtained 
especially noticeable evidence of the disastrous freshet of 1862, which laid the 
whole valley temporarily in ruins. Passing Tannery, a lumber station, with its 
little collection of six hundred inhabitants, we come next to 

WHITE HAVEN, 

Named from Josiah White, the enterprising founder of the Lehigh Coal and Navi- 
gation Company. Before the railroad came, packets ran on the canal between 
this point, Mauch Chunk and Easton, and even to-day such a mode of conveyance 
through this glorious scenery would not be without its attractions, perhaps. The 
town has fifteen hundred inhabitants, six churches, and a savings bank. In the 
freshet of 1862 it was a conspicuous sufferer, sustaining a loss of one hundred and 
fifty lives, and property valued at two and a half million dollars. Some idea of 
the peril of the situation may be formed from the statement that the river rose 
thirty feet above low-water mark, and that, too, in some places at the rate of nine 
feet in five minutes. 

At White Haven our Niagara Falls express train stops for twenty minutes, 
enabling hungry passengers to regale themselves with a good old-fashioned country 
dmner, and prepare thus for a keener enjoyment of the beautiful scenery beyond. 

Passing Moosehead, where there is an extensive ochre factory, we next reach 
Fairview, where, crossing the track of the Lehigh and Susquehanna, we find 
ourselves at the summit of the mountain, and, looking down, catch our first 
glimpse of the romantic and stoi'ied Valley of Wyoming.

FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE WYOMING VALLEY. 

NEWPORT. 

And what a spectacle is this which meets our admiring gaze ! To see it were 
well worth a journey ten times that we have taken. It is simply indescribably 
grand. For a distance of twenty miles we may follow the winding course of the 



Susciuehanna — now gleaming in the green meadow Ir.nd, now losing itself among 
the mountains, and now reappearing beyond them. Hereabouts we have an 
area of forty thousand acres, dotted with towns and hamlets, and teeming with 
life and activity. Before us is the scene of the terrible Avondale disaster of 1869, 
south of .it is Nanticoke, and in the opposite direction is our next place of desti- 
nation — Wilkesbarre. 

But before we reach it, a few words concerning the history of this charming 
vale in which it stands. It was an old Indian battle-ground often contested by 
the red men ; but in 1769 a company of forty adventurous colonists from Connec- 
ticut (where won't those Yankees go?) set up a stockade and claimed possession. 
They were opposed by a prior claim from some Pennsylvania settlers, and the 
result was a war which was only ended by the necessity of a common defense 
during the Revolution. For in 1778 the British sent a force of seven hundred 
Iroquois and four hundred Tories, under Col. John Butler, to attack the people of 
the valley, who, in the absence of most of their able-bodied men with Washing- 
ton's army, could only muster a force of three hundred men and boys for defense. 
An engagement on July 3d, 1778, resulted in a victory for the invaders, who 
followed it up by such a wholesale torture and mas'^acre of their captives, women 
and children included, as the historian is fortunately seldom called upon to re- 
cord. A boulder, known as " Queen Esther's Rock," standing near the river- 
l)ank, is p. inted out as maiking the spot where one old Seneca half-breed was 
allowed to murder twenty bound victims in revenge for the death of her son. 
The dwellings in the valley were reduced to ashes ; those of the inhabitants who 
could, snught safety in flight; and now a granite obelisk, appropriately inscribed, 
has been erected upon the battle-field in commemoration of this, the most terri- 
ble and bloody episode in the struggle which made our country free, and which, 
in his "Gertrude of Wyoming," the poet Campl)ell has rendered famous in song 
and story. 

liut as we ni'ise on these tragic memories, we reach, first, S uth Wilkesbarre, 
and then ihe imp >rtant city of which it is a suburb — 

\VILKESBARRE. 

We find the city beautifully laid out on the east bank of the Susquehanna 
(North branch), and with a population of about twenty-five thousand. It was 
laid out originally in 1772, and settled in 1773, by the Susquehanna Land Com- 
pany of Connecticut, deriving its name conjointly t'lom John Wilkes, of London, 
and C'jlonel Baire, a distinguished British officer. Many of the memorable 
scenes of the Indian war were located within the present city limits, and Fort 



^3 

Wyoming is said to have stood on the river-bank close to the street of the same 
name. The city of to-day contains eighteen churches, twenty-one schools, six 
banks, three street railways, and many fme private and public buildings. The 
enterprise of the people is also shown in the substantial suspension bridge of wire, 
six hundred and fifty-eight feet long, spanning the river just below the depot. 
The suburbs abound in pleasant resorts. Prospect Rock, upon the mountain 
directly back of the town ; Harvey's Lake, a noted fishing-ground about twelve 
miles to the north-west, and the Wyoming Monument, previously mentioned, 
should all be visited by tourists to this point. 
Nine miles beyond Wilkesbarre we come to 

PITTSTON, 

At the head of the valley and close to the confluence of the Lackawanna and Sus- 
quehanna Rivers. Its population is about seventeen thousand, and its suburb, 
West Pittston, on the other side of the last-mentioned river, contains about two 
thousand more. Pittston owes its rapid growth chiefly to the extensive mining 
operations of the Pennsylvania Coal Company; but in addition to this prominent 
industry, it has also large iron-works and several factories. The West Branch 
Canal and three lines of railroad intersect it. In the vicinity is a famous rock 
known as Campbell's Ledge, so named, some say, from a Mr. Campbell, who 
leaped therefrom to escape his Indian pursuers. 
One mile from Pittston we come to the 

LACKAWANNA AND BLOOMSBURG JUNCTION, 

Where passengers change cars for Scranton, Bloomsburg, Catawissa, and North- 
umberland. 

I RANSOM FALLS, McKUNE'S, AND LA GRANGE, 

W^hich we pass next in the order named, are minor stations, each doing consider- 
able local trade. 

TUNKHANNOCK 

Is the county seat of Wyoming, and quite an important business centre, with a 
population of twelve hundred, several churches, a Masonic hall, and a national 
bank. In this locality considerable blue stone is quarried and shipped to Phila- 
delphia and New York. 



24 

VOSBURG 

Is chiefly noticeable as being the depot for Washington township. One mile dis- 
tant from it, in a straight line, but seven miles by our rail route, is 

MEHOOPANY, 

So called from a neighboring creek. It contains two churches and several mills, 
and is something of a lumber depot. 

MESHOPPEN, 

Also named from a creek, is a settlement over a half century old, and possesses 
three churches, several mills, extensive quarries, and a tanneiy. 

Passing, in turn. Black Walnut and its profitable quarries, Skinner's Eddy, and 
Laceyville, settled in 1830, our next important stopping-place is 

WYALUSING, 

Which, in Indian parlance, signifies "beautiful hunting-ground." In the village, 
half a mile from the river's left bank, and containing about five hundred inhabitants, 
the Moravians originally settled; but troul)les with the savages compelled them to 
abandon the spot. Subsecjuently, and after the Wyoming massacre. Colonel 
Hartley's expedition in search of the murderers reached this point, and, continuing 
on, were attacked near the village. A monum-'nt, fifteen feet high, of stone from 
Campbell's Ledge, was erected here June 15th, 1871, and can be seen between 
the railroad and the river as we pass. 

FRENCHTOWN 

Was, at one time, a place of refuge for many of the French nobility who fled from 
Paris during the Revolution of 1793. These, in company with some Philadel- 
phians, secured possession of a million acres, incorporating themselves as the 
Asylum and Holland Land Company, and the descendants of some of them are 
to-day among the best farmers of this section. Beyond Rummerfield, a ferry- 
crossing, we come to 

STANDING STONE, 

So called frori a stone, forty feet high, standmg upright in the river, opposite the 
vil.age, and familiar as a landmirk as far back as the middle of the last century. 



25 

WYSAUKING, 

Situated in the centre of a fertile farming country, appropriately signifies "the 
place of grapes." Here may be seen the model twelve-hundred-acre farm of 
Colonel Piollet. 

And now we cross the river by a handsome bridge of nine spans, measuring 
one thousand four hundred and eighty-five feet in all, and obtain a fine view of 
our next stopping-place, 

TOWANDA, 

The capital of Bradford county, and first settled in i8l2. It was originally called 
Meansville, in honor of its founder, William Means ; then Williamston ; and 
finally got its present name from the Indian title of a creek south-east of the town, 
signifying " at the burial-place," — the Indians being supposed to have buried their 
dead there. The town has a population of four thousand, several public halls, a 
bank, three newspapers, six churches, several schools, and a fine academy, called 
the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute. Its industries are numerous and varied. 

ULSTER, 

Formerly called Sheshequin, was once a Moravian mission station. 

MILAN 

Is chiefly important as the nearest station to a tract called " Queen Esther's Flats," 
once owned by the royal squaw whose name figures so prominently in the Wyo- 
ming massacre. 

ATHENS 

We find located on the peninsula formed by the junction of the Chemung with 
the Susquehanna. In 1 737 it was the site of the Delaware Indian town Diahoga. 
In 1783 the white settlers found their way hither, and three years later a 
grant was issued for a township to be called Athens. In 183 1 it was in- 
corporated, and since then its growth has been slow but steady. It has six 
churches, two newspapers, a bank, and a population of about one thousand. 
North-west of the town is a bluff, one hundred and seventy-five feet high, rising 
abruptly from the valley, and called Spanish Hill. Tradition says that ancient 
fortifications have existed on its summit and Spanish coins been discovered 
thereon. 



26 

Crossing the Chemung we next find ourselves in New York State, on the line 
of the 

AT WAVERLY, 

Situated directly on the boundary line dividing the Empire and Keystone States, 
which line, indeed, passes but a few rods south of the station, and at one point 
intersects a tavern bar-room so effectually that the barkeeper is in one State and 
the customer in the other. 

The place was incorporated in 1854, and notwithstanding a disastrous fire three 
years ago, has a population of about five thousand, numerous manufactories, gas- 
works, four churches, two papers, two banks, and a fine public school system. 

CHEMUNG, 

The next station, was formerly called Brockville, and is the centre of a great stock- 
raising and wool-growing region. 

WELLSBURG 

Is a manufacturing village, with a population of a few hundred. It was in this 
vicinity that General Sullivan threw up breastworks while pursuing the British 
and Indians, and subsequently routed the foe in a short but bloody conflict. 

And now, still following the beautiful valley of the Chemung, we finally reach 
our temporary stopping-place, 

ELMIRA, 

Nestling away amid the shadows of the environing hillsides, and looking for all the 
world like a huge slice of our own Philadelphia or New York. It was settled in 
1788, and now has a population of about twenty thousand. As an emporium of 
trade or travel, few cities of its size surpass it, — railroads extending from it towards 
all four points of the compass, and the Chemung Canal here connecting the waters 
of Seneca Lake with the Chemung River, and thence by the Susquehanna with 
the sea-coast cities and the Atlantic Ocean. The coal traffic passing through the 
place is also immense. As might be supposed, with such facilities, the city has 
grown at a wondrous rate. It is handsomely planned, abounds in churches, 
schools, and public and private entei-prises, and is, in short, a city where even the 
most fastidious can find both a winter and a summer home. Eldridge Park is one 
of the attractions which no visitor in Elmira should fail to see and admire. 



i 



27 

Here, for a time, we stop, and we could not ask to have our lines cast in pleasanter 
places. Here is the Rathbun House, E. R. Abbott, proprietor, and here, too, 
the Hathaway House, S, H. Wadsworlh, proprietor, both of which are advertised 
elsewhere in this work, and at either of which we can find home comforts during 
our stay. 

We shall want, too, to take a run up to Watkins' Glen, from Elmira. The 
visit to the Glen is simply indispensable to the tourist in this section, and, indeed, 
"no family should be without it." First, however, let us continue on our tour as 
far as Niagara, take a brief glimpse of the St. Lawrence and points beyond, and 
then return to find that none of their vaunted charms surpass this romantic little 
nook, with its modest name of "Watkins' Glen." (For description of Watkins' 
Glen, see page 30.) 

When we resume our journey westward to Niagara Falls from Elmira, it is in 
the palatial Pullman cars of the Erie express train, and looking out from their 
broad windows, we catch glimpses of many a varied landscape, beauteous with 
the agricultural wealth of the Southern Tier. Now we reach Corning, with its 
eight thousand inhabitants, — here diverges the branch to Avon Springs and 
Rochester. Then, forty miles farther on, we reach the great junction-point at 
Hornellsville, where we may stop and procure, if we are hungry, a substantial 
meal. From this point, the main line of the Erie continues on to Salamanca 
(where connections are made for Cleveland and Cincinnati) and Dunkirk. We, 
however, strike off to the right, and head straight for Buffalo. The ride is one of 
rare beauty. By-and-by we cross the famous Portage Bridge, — said to be the 
largest trestle-work in the world, — spanning an immense gorge three hundred and 
eighty feet deep, through which the Genesee River leaps in three successive falls. 
This grand scenery alone would almost suffice to repay the sight-seer for a 
journey hither. 

Then our course takes us along the mountain slope, overlooking the beauteous 
town of Warsaw; then we pass Attica; just before reaching Buffalo, switch off 
again to the right, pass Tonawanda, and suddenly find ourselves within sound of 
the roaring of 

NIAGARA FALLS. 

Of course, our first move is to choose a hotel, and there is no lack in this respect, 
depend upon it. We must stay here two or three days, so let us be comfortable. 
This season, it is said, unusual efforts are to be made to protect visitors against 
imposition or extortion of any kind. There are some reasonable landlords and 
some honest hackmen here, after all, we shall find. First, suppose we cross the 
river by the new bridge, and a wonderful bridge it is. On the Canada side, we 



28 

gain a splendid view of the Horseshoe, and may visit, if we choose, the different 
museums, and have our pictures taken. We shall note, too, what has never before 
been the case here, that the Provincial Government has this year adopted the 
strictest police regulations to protect visitors. Returning to the American side 
and leaving our carriage, we may cross by the frail bridge to Goat and Luna 
Islands, which overlook the very brink of the wateiy precipice. These are the 
main features of the Falls; but there are a thousand minor beauties and oddities 
which have been so often described that we shall leave them for the reader to use 
in filling up the chinks in his or her imagination until the time for actually seeing 
them arrives. But one thing we would advise : while you are at the Falls, see 
everything that there is to be seen ; don't give up to fatigue ; see it all while 
there, and leave nothing unseen, to be regretted after your return home. During 
your stay you will find the Spencer House or the Clifton House delightful 
and commodious places of abode. If at any time you are going west from 
Niagara Falls, the Great Western and Michigan Central Railroad, crossing the 
Suspension Bridge and running palatial coaches through without change to 
Detroit and Chicago, will be found the most direct and available route from this 
point. From Niagara Falls, it is also a short ride to 

TORONTO OR LEWISTON, 

Where the tourist may take the daily steamers of the Royal Mail Line for that 
most charming of summer trips — a sail down the St. Lawrence River, past the far- 
famed Thousand Islands which stud its current, to Montreal, Quebec, to the 
wilder beauties of the Saguenay, to Lakes Champlain and George, and to the 
White Mountains. At Montreal, the Ottawa House, and at Quebec, the St. 
Louis Hotel, offer the finest of accommodations for tourists, while those who visit 
Lake Champlain will not, of course, fail to stop at Fouquet's famous hotel at 
Plattsburg. The celebrated Au Sable Chasm is distant only twelve miles from 
this house, and is reached by a delightful carriage drive along the shore of Lake 
Champlain, winding through beautiful groves, and fording the Au Sable River 
just above its mouth, affording a fine opportunity for picnic parties, who are fur- 
nished with complete outfits and conveyed from the hotel daily. Through tickets, 
it may be stated, allow passengers to stop over at this hotel and resume their trip 
at pleasure. Passing hence, down Lake Champlain, via Lake George and Ticon- 
deroga, and thence over the historic battle-ground of Saratoga to Troy and 
Albany, the tourist may take one of the splendid steamers of the Day Line at the 
latter city, and, amid a contemplation of the grand and varied beauties which line 
the majestic Hudson, including the Catskills and West Point, may find a fitting 
close to the delightful tour which we have herein briefly and imperfectly sketched.

GLEN CATHEDRAL. 



30 
WATKINS' GLEN. 

During our stay at Elmira, we promised the reader a run up to Watkins' Glen, 
nor shall we disappoint him. Taking the cars of the Northern Central Railroad 
from Elmira, we ride a distance of twenty-two miles, and reach the village of 
Watkins', nestling in a narrow valley, amid a profusion of shrubbery, at the head 
of Seneca Lake. A walk or ride of half a mile up the main street, parallel with 
the mountain slope, brings us to a bridge spanning a shallow stream, which has 
formed for itself, through the lower slope of the mountain range, a passage-way, 
which terminates abruptly, at a distance of a few hundred yards, in a lofty wall. 
This wall, however, recedes so as to form a sort of cavernous recess, from one 
angle of which the stream issues. Behind this solemn gateway of natural 
masonry, broken and abraded in places by time and the action of the elements, 
lie the wonderful ravines, the infinite variety of waterfalls and foaming rapids 
and deep and silent pools which have become famous within a few years, under 
the designation of Watkins' Glen. It is not for the beautiful lake, nor for the 
pleasant village, but to see this remarkable natural wonder — Watkins' Glen — that 
the thousands come. It is but recently that it has been accessible to visitors ; ten 
years ago it was almost unknown ; now it is a famous summer resort, visited by 
thousands annually, and claiming a place among the most noted of American 
scenery. 

The mode of ingress to the Glen is by a succession of strongly-constructed 
stairways built along the face of the precipice, with occasional platforms, from 
which the more interesting features can be studied, and narrow footpaths cut in 
the solid rock, with short, picturesque bridges thrown froni projecting points, and 
all securely guarded by convenient hand-rails. 

Once inside the rocky barrier, we cross the chasm by a narrow but secure 
bridge, commanding a fine view of the first cascade, rushing headlong through a 
rift in the rocks, and falling, roaring and foaming, into a deep basin hollowed 
out from the water's constant fretting and chafing upon them. Clambering hence, 
up a series of steps, we follow the fantastic windings of a narrow footpath cut 
from the face of the cliff, until suddenly our progress is barred by a transverse 
wall, over which the waters of the long cascade fall from a great height into the 
dark pool below. At this point, the ragged and lofty walls of the gorge draw 
close together, and where the footpath ends, a long staircase, wet with mist and 
spray, is flung at an angle of ninety degrees across the tremendous chasm, con- 
necting, at its farther end, with another footpath, on a higher level of at least fifty 
feet. Following this, we come upon a series of cascades, dropping from ledge to 



31 

ledge, with deep pools and broad shallows intervening. Looking upwards here, 
a little narrow thread of sky, between the tall, towering cliffs of dark rock which 
shut us in, alone reminds us of the outer world. The air is cool and fresh, and 
laden with the fragrance of a thousand flowers. Ahead of us, the rocky barriers 
all but meet, leaving a narrow rift where some giant hand seems to have torn them 
asunder. Through this narrow portal passes the stream, and even here we can 
catch the music of the falling waters. Drawing closer, we see a staircase clinging 
to the cliff, and entering the rift, we climb to an upper glen, wilder and more 
beautiful than its predecessor. Apparent danger is the sensation experienced by 
a visitor for the first time to this charming spot; but this soon gives way to admi- 
ration and delight, as every precaution has been taken to render a trip through 
the Glen entirely secure. The proper season for a visit is between the middle of 
May and the first of November. Ferns and mosses in almost endless varieties, 
and many of the former of immense proportions, abound here. Seneca Lake, 
lying close at hand, is a beautiful body of water, varying from two to six miles in 
width, and forty miles long. Elegant and commodious steamers, manned by 
polite and attentive officers, run uninterruptedly the whole length of the lake 
during the entire year, and all who can should, by all means, enjoy a ride on 
Seneca Lake, from Watkins' to Geneva. 

The distance from New York to Watkins' Glen, via the Erie Railway, is two 
hundred and ninety-six miles ; via New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, 
four hundred and fourteen miles; from Philadelphia, via Lehigh Valley Railroad, 
two hundred and eighty-seven miles; via Harrisburg, three hundred miles; 
from Baltimore, via Northern Central Railroad, two hundred and seventy-eight 
miles. 

The visitor, on arrival at the railroad depot or steamboat landing at Watkins', 
inquires for the porter of the Glen Mountain House, who will take charge of his 
baggage and show him to the elegant coaches belonging to the house. Passing 
in one of these through the streets of the neat, pretty village, he comes to the 
foot of a hill, near the summit of which, nestling among hemlocks and other 
evergreens, about four hundred feet above the level of the lake, he will find that 
haven of rest and comfort, the Glen Mountain House. 

This house is fitted up with all modern conveniences, — gas, hot and cold water 
baths, an abundance of pure water from the mountain springs ; and, in addition 
to having the privileges of mountain air and scenery, guests ot the house are at 
liberty to visit the Glen as often as may be desired during their entire stay, at the 
same price it would cost them each time, if stopping at any other house. 

Besides Watkins' Glen, tourists may find in this vicinity other noted beautiful

THE GLEN MOUNTAIN HOUSE. 



33 

resorts, — Havana Glen, Glen Excelsior, Glenora, Hector, and Havana Falls, and 
many other charming spots where the lover of nature may find substantial enjoy- 
ment and profit. Havana Glen, about three miles distant from Watkins', may be 
reached by carriages, which can be obtained at the Glen Mountain House. 

CooPERSTowN, Sharon Springs, Richfield Springs, Trenton Falls, 
Ithaca, — Nor, it may be added, can the tourist, after traversing the mountain 
regions of the Lehigh, find a more charming contrast than among the historic and 
beautiful scenes traversed by, or adjacent to, the line of the Albany and Susquehanna 
Railroad, extending from Albany to Binghamton, a distance of one hundred and 
forty-two miles. The traveler by the route we have sketched may, therefore, take 
this line, via the Erie Railway, from Waverly to Binghamton, going north, or, on 
his return from Lake Champlain, at Albany, going south. In either case it will 
carry him directly through the Otsego Lake region, rendered famous by Fenimore 
Cooper in his " Leatherstocking " series. Here he will find 

COOPERSTOWN, 

That author's former residence, high up in the mountains, in the midst of beau- 
tiful scenery, and provided with good hotels and refined society. Otsego Lake, 
on which the town is situated, is the source of the Susquehanna; is nine miles 
long, from one to two wide, and its waters abound in fish. At Cobleskill, forty- 
five miles from Albany, the tourist connects with Branch for 

SHARON SPRINGS, 

A curious feature of which place is the issuance of five different kinds of water 
from apertures near each other. They are white sulphur, blue sulphur, chaly- 
beate, magnesia, and a(/ifo />t(7'a. There are two first-class hotels at the Springs. 
Within a few miles drive, too, of Cooperslown, are 

RICHFIELD SPRINGS, 

A quiet but favorite resort, where a few weeks can be passed in enjoyment and 
comfort. It possesses the advantages of beautiful drives and rambles, and 
excellent boating, fishing, and bathing facilities. There is a good hotel on the 
Spring grounds. 

TRENTON FALLS, 

Too, are well worth visiting. Here the West Canada Creek, a branch of the 
Mohawk, has a fall of three hundred and twelve feet in two miles, by a series of 
six remarkably varied and beautiful cataracts. "In the long corridor of travel 



34 

between New York and Niagara," once said N. P. Willis, "Trenton is a sort of 
alcove aside — a side-scene out of earshot of the crowd — a recess in a corridor 
whither you draw a friend by the button for the sake of chit-chat at ease." 

ITHACA, 

Too, abounds, in its suburbs, in varied and striking scenery, which we may reach 
by the Ithaca and Athens Railroad, from its junction, at Athens, with the Lehigh 
Valley Railroad. Situated at the head of Cayuga Lake, it has in its immediate 
vicinity no less than fifteen waterfalls, five of them one hundred feet, and one 
one hundred and sixty feet high. A visit to Taghanic Falls, a cataract exceeding 
Niagara in height by over fifty feet, will also amply recompense the tourist.

MEMPHREMAGOG HOUSE, 

NEWPORT, VERMONT. 

W. F. BOWMAN, Proprietor. 

'HIS wide-known and ever-popular Summer Resort is now opened for the season of 1874. It is situated in 
the northern part of V'erniont, at the head of Lake Memphremagog, and five miles south of the line sepa- 
rating- the Dominion of Canada from "the United States. During- the last spring- this House has been 
entirely refurnished and refitted and placed in complete order in all its appointments, and it is now one of the 
largest and finest hotels in New England. It is four stories high, has a front of nearly 200 feet, and its broad 
piazzas command a charming view of lake and mountain scenery. There is nothing more gorgeous and beau- 
tiful than the sunset views obtained from the north piazzas, which overlook the lake. This House will easily 
accommodate 400 guests. It is supplied with water, gas, and steam, and is fitted up in every department with all 
the modern improvements and conveniences. In the basement, fronting on the park and lake, are billiard-rooms 
and Dowling-alleys for l)oth ladies and gentlemen. A fine livery stable, with the best of horses and carriages, is 
connected with this House ; also, new and elegant row-boats. 

The steamer Lady of the Lake, Capt. Geo. W. Fogg, commander, receives and lands passengers at the 
wharf, within 100 feet of this House. This splendid iron steamer makes two trips daily through the lake. The 
depots are only a few rods from this House. For trout-fishing there is no better place than Northern Vermont, 
and the small streams all about Newport and vicinity are filled with brook trout, which are caught in great abun- 
dance. Lake Memphremagog also abounds in trout, resembling the brook trout, and weighing from five to forty 
pounds. — and fishing for such trout is rare sport. 

The walks and drives about Newport are unequaled for variety of scenery, and the view from Prospect Hill, 
south-west from this Hotel, is not excelled by any in New England. From \t there is a good view of Joy Peak of 
the Green Mountain range, which is second in point of height of the mountains in Vermont, and is easily 
reached'by carriage from Newport. Also, Lake Willoughby, twenty miles south, one of the most remarkable 
places on this continent, and which lies in the gorge of a high mountain, which, at some period of the earth's 
history, has been cut open. On each side of this lake are mountains rising almost perpendicularly nearly 2500 
feet. On the east side there is just room enough between this lake and the frowning wall above for a carriage 
road. Newport may be most easily reached by the following routes : — 

From New York, via Springfield and White River Junction. Distance, 369 miles. 

From Boston, via Concord and White River Junction, or via Concord, Plymouth, and Wells River. 

From the White Mountains, via Wells River.' 

From Saratoga Springs, via Burlington, St. Alban's, and Richford. 

From Montreal, via South-Eastern Railway. 

From Quebec, via Grand Trunk and Connecticut & Passumpsic Rivers and Massawippi Valley Railways. 

No summer resort in New England is easier of access or has better railroad facilities and accommodations 
than Newport. The Connecticut & Passumpsic Rivers Railroad and the South-Eastern Railway run Pullman 
Palace Cars on all trains,

SEflNG-HACeiinALES OF 1673. 

The table of Sewing-machine sales for 1873 shows that our sales last year 
amounted to 232,444 (two hundred and thirty-two thousand four hundred 
and forty-four) machines, being a large increase over the sales of the previous 
year (1872). 

The table also shows that our sales Exceed those of any other Company, 
for the period named, by the number of 113,254 machines, or nearly double 
those of any other Company. 

It may be further stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with those of 
1872, show a relatively larger increase, beyond the sales of other makers, 
than of any other year. 

For instance, in 1872 we sold 4-5,000 more Machines than any other 
company, whereas, in 1873, the sales were 

113^254 Machines in Excess of our Highest Competitor* 

These figures are all the more remarkable for the reas'«n that the sales of 
the principal companies in 1873 are less than their sales in 1872; whereas, 
as has been shown, our sales have largely increased. 

The account of sales is- from sworn returns made to the owners of the 
Sewing-Machine Patents. 

It will hardly be denied that the superiority of the SINGER MACHINES 
is fully demonstrated —at all events, that their popularity in the household 
is unquestionable.

NIAGARA FALLS TO MONTREAL, QUEBEC, WHITE MOUNTAINS, 

PORTLAND, LAKE GEORGE, SARATOGA, NEW YORK, 

RIVIERE DU LOUP, THE RIVER SAGUENAY, &c. 



The Canadian Navigation Company's Steamers comprise the original Royal 
Mail and American Lines, with the addition of several new Steamers, thus forming 
two first-class lines of Passenger Steamei-s which, for speed, safety, and comfort, 
cannot be surpassed. 

They are the only lines now affording Tourists an opportunity to view the 
magnificent scenery of the Thousand Islands and Rapids of St. Lawrence, also to 
the far-famed River Saguenay. 

j^g*-This Route possesses peculiar advantages over any other, as by it parties 
hmK their choice of either side of Lake Ontario and River St. Lawrence, between 
Niagara Falls and Quebec, over the whole or any portion of it, without being 
obliged to decide when purchasing their tickets, as they are also good by the Grand 
Trunk Railway. No extra charge for Meals on the Steamers between Toronto 
and Montreal. 

The only route to the White Mountains by which parties can ascend the far- 
famed Mount Washington by the carriage road. 

American money taken at par for tickets by this line, which can be obtained 
at most of the principal cities in the United States.

FOUQUBT'S HOTEL 

^ <^-<!!F» §= 

PLATTSBURGH, N. Y. 




This Hotel lias always been the favorite resting-place for travelers between 
Niagara Falls, Lake George, and Saratoga. It is situated 

ON THE BANKS OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN, 

AMID A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN OF FLOWERS. 

Parties going southward, who desire to SEE LAKE CHAMPLAIN BY 
DAYLIGHT, should be particular to leave Montreal by the P. M. train which 
connects with Lake Champlain steamer, arriving at "Fouquet's" for supper. 
Leaving Plattsburgh by steamer the following morning, they will arrive at Cald- 
well for supper, or, if they prefer, can continue through the lake to Whitehall, and 
arrive at Saratoga for supper. This House is also the principal starting point for 
the Adirondacks, and is situated only twelve miles from the WONDERFUL 
AU SABLE CHASM, one of those great natural curiosities which, to the lover of 
nature in all her fanciful moods, presents such attractions. It is through this 
gorge that the waters of the Au Sable seek and finally mingle with those of 
Lake Champlain. The changing beauty of this stream, as it bounds from ledge 
to ledge, passing through this wonderful freak of nature, adds to the surrounding 
scenery a charm that all should see, and none will fail to appreciate. 

Excursion Tickets are now on sale at the principal Railroad offices through- 
out the United States, Tickets are also on sale for Paul Smith's, Martin's, and 
other forest resorts in the Adirondacks, at the same offices.

Connecting at Geneva with New York Central & Hudson Eiver R. E.., for

of summer resort. 

To the tourist, Seneca Lake presents unusual attractions, being the most 
beautiful sheet of water on the continent, and navigable the whole year round. 
Its length is about forty miles, and in the passage over it scenes of stirring 
interest and romantic beauty are constantly presented. 

WATKII^TS' GLEN, 

Famed for its varied, wild, and picturesque scenery, is situated at the head of 
Seneca Lake, while Geneva, at its foot, is a place of considerable distinction as 
a Summer retreat. 

Tickets over Seneca Lake, via Watkins' and Geneva, to Niagara Falls and all 
places of interest to Summer Excursionists, may be obtained at the offices of the 
Erie Railway, in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.

A NEW CONVENIENCE for TRAVELERS. 



The want of a Night Express Train, leaving Philadelphia by way of 
the North Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley Railways at an early hour in the 
evening, and connecting at Elmira with the Fast Pacific Express for the 
West, on the Erie Railway, has long been felt, and is now to be supplied. 



On and after SUNDAY EVENING, JUNE 14th, 1874, 

AN EXPRESS TRAIN, 

PULLMAN SLEEPING OARS ATTACHED, 

Will leave the BERKS STREET DEPOT at 7 P. M. daily, 

RUNNING Tl^ROUGl^ WITHOUT Cl^ANGE, 

Reaching Wilkesbarre about midnight and Elmira at 6.00 A. M., there con- 
necting with the Erie Pacific Express, arriving at Niagara Falls at early 
dinner time, or about 1.00 o'clock. By this train, also, passengers may take 
the morning train north from Elmira and breakfast at Watkins' Glen ; while 
those who live at points nearer this end of the line will find the evening train 
a rapid and convenient means of returning to their homes after transacting 
their business during the day in the city. By this route, it will be observed, 
also, there is but one change of coaches necessary between 

NIAGARA FALLS, CHICAGO, 

DETROIT, CINCINNATI, 

CLEVELAND, Or ST. LOUIS. 



It can thus easily be seen that the train vill prove a popular one, and 
result in a travel which will amply reward the enterprise of the Managers.
